I used to think I hated it when ppl made speculations about FSW insinuating it was over or something negative. I just realized I hate it more when everyone is quiet. It’s like a silent confirmation that things are bleak and there’s no hope. LMAO. The elections are in 3 days guys! Anyone think it will make a diff?

I guess all have given up and moved on. Probably the right thing to do.

The only good thing to do is to have an active ee profile and disappear from the social media entirely regarding everything ircc!

Oh my, we are only 96 EE applicants in the Philippines? I thought we were way more

Some Filipinos could have applied from the US given the large population here. The US numbers are basically Indians and other Asians combined.

I remember the time I went for my medicals in Feb 2020 in Seattle. The place pretty much exclusively did medicals for prospective immigrants to Canada. The doctor there had setup a big world map where the immigrant candidates can place a pin marking their place of origin. India looked like a hedgehog.

Any new PPRs for FSW?

1.4 billion is a big number.

In your opinion do a lot of FSW-O Indian citizens get a PR card and not live in Canada for an extended period though? I know 2 people who've done that and their PR renewal eligibility has expired.

Same thing is happening with IELTS in India. When I booked my CD test in October 2019, dates were available 2-3 days later but now they are not available for 2 months even though the test is conducted 2 times a day 7 days a week.

Canadian PR is a backup for Indians living in the US. Many don't wanna give up their high-paying job but their place in the US is also uncertain. So, Canada is plan B. For Indians applying from India, Canada is a gateway to the US. To be honest, most Indians leave Canada after some time. I will also do that.

I know a few who have done that too. They pretty much treated it as a backup in case they couldn't get their H1B+i140 done in the US in time (Masters graduates can work for 3 years post graduation on OPT ... so that's 3 h1b lottery attempts).

I also know a few who moved to Canada for permanency, path towards first world citizenship and freedom from visa restrictions. Among my acquaintances, I would say that it's a 50-50 split.

Hmm, I see. I guess in the tech/software/data science sectors salaries in Canada are nowhere near on par with the US in that case.
